I am not starting a campaing, and i am not lying. I needed votes fast, and he said he wont risk his account for 0.06btc, and i sucker belived it.

So how did the deal go? Did you receive the votes from louise123?

I'm curious since you didn't use escrow. So I want to know if you were scammed or not.

How do you set your PM message pruner to not delete everything every 14 days?

I have never used this 'prune' function and I have ALL my messages intact.
Maybe you shouldn't use this function at all if you want to retain your messages?

It seems like the number of days is adjustable, so you can specify how much older messages you want to delete.

They acknowledge the fact that it is "a largely symbolic title", nothing more. All other founding members (Gavin Andresen, Peter Vessenes, Charlie Shrem, Roger Ver, Patrick Murck and Mark Karpeles) are also proposed to be stripped off the title.

And with their recent announcement that they don't plan to fund the core development, I don't know why the foundation actually exist apart from receiving salaries for doing nothing.

Remove Satoshi as Founding Member, Says Bitcoin Foundation Director

Quote
As part of a newly published roadmap for the Bitcoin Foundation, executive director Bruce Fenton has suggested removing bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto as a founding member.

Though he called for the removal of all founding members from the organisation, Fenton singled out Nakamoto's inclusion as "not accurate", arguing that he or she was never involved in the group's creation.

Now a largely symbolic title, the move would also strip Gavin Andresen, Peter Vessenes, Charlie Shrem, Roger Ver, Patrick Murck and Mark Karpeles of the distinction.

586  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Market History on: April 30, 2015, 07:32:00 AM
I keep torturing myself with this idea that I could have made out big with an early investment in Bitcoin.

Saying you (or we) are NOT early adopters of Bitcoin would be so wrong. If you didn't adopt Bitcoin in 2010 or 2011, that's just one way of looking at it.
Crypto currency technology and market is still in its early stage and adopting Bitcoin today still makes you an early adopter.

Remember all people who bought Bitcoin at 10 cents and sold everything when the price hit 10 dollars? We can only speculate on the real potential of this technology and it is not impossible to but Bitcoin now and have the same level of price rise in next few years. Talk about having bought at $250 and making $25000 a coin after a few years. It may seem impossible to some, but going from 10 cents to 10 dollars also seemed impossible to many. Just be faithful.

Just make sure you invest only what you can afford to lose.

you can go to igot.com to buy it , works nicely for me, or u can buy from virwox.com,  both are working good for me,

I don't know how its working fine for you, this thread is full of complaints against iGot:

Did he? As I see he's one of the strategic advisers for NeuCoin http://www.neucoin.org/en/wiki/#advisors.

Not any more. He indicated that he is no more part of the NeuCoin project.

"Jackson Palmer indicates that his leave of absence from the crypto community includes a separation with micropayments project Neucoin. Representatives from Neucoin have not yet responded to press inquiries."

That was very clever of you to have identified a process to charge back "your" money from iGot.
This is very common with PayPal but you managed to do the same with BPay, good.

And I think you made the right decision reversing the payment. iGot is a shitty exchange when it comes to customer service and they deserve what you did. Hope more pissed customers do the same to teach them a lesson.

Where do i get the keys from?

Keygens or Online Websites..

If these keys are not genuine, why should someone even rely on you? Cracks and keygens are freely available on internet for whatever the software we talk about.

Unless you're providing cracks for some very rare software for which cracks are not available publicly, then there is some value to what you're doing. Otherwise on what basis should someone donate to you?

592  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2015-04-17] CoinTelegraph - BitPay Reveals (Good) Reason Why BTC Price Is Down on: April 28, 2015, 12:55:17 PM
But the next bitcoin reward halving is set to take place in 2016 – from 25 bitcoins every 10 minutes to only 12.5. At this point, the number of new and available bitcoins will decrease substantially. If transaction volume is still increasing in 2016, we can expect Bitcoin's price to go up as a result.[/i]

Well logically due to supply and demand this should happen but sometimes there doesn't seem to be much logic at all in the valuation of bitcoin. It goes up and it goes down without any obvious reason but I'm hoping the halving does push the price up I just hope there's more demand for the coins by then.

True, there is really no evident relation between coin reward and price. We were at $1100 when the reward was 25 BTC per block. And now we're at $225 when the reward is....    the same 25 BTC, lol.

But what I hope is that the DEMAND for the coins will increase regardless of the block reward. And due to more demand, the ask price should eventually go UP. But this is just a speculative hope. Nothing can be predictable in the world of crypto currency.

Thanks for wasting couple of minutes of my precious life. I neither understood what he was singing, nor the subtitles.
I hate you!  Cheesy

But you have to admit, the shoes he's wearing are really nice.  Might buy me a pair.

"He"?  Looked more like "she" to me, from the kind of dress and shoes SHE is wearing, and the voice too!  Cheesy

596  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin as a Retirement Account on: April 28, 2015, 11:10:48 AM
Every month, your employer transfers Bitcoins into a time-locked address that can't be transferred out before you reach retirement age.  You have the key to the address.  You can verify the transfer on the blockchain.

No middle-men.  No funny business.  No brokers with pyramid/eyeball shaped logos.  No "oops we went bankrupt and lost your retirement."  No bail-ins.  No raising the age of retirement.

Just Bitcoin.

Won't be feasible for a couple of reasons:

- How do you 'lock' the address if you have the key? You will eventually get tempted to withdraw sometime before retirement.
- How do you know BTC will be worth something to support your retirement? It might happen that when you need these funds most (when you are old), Bitcoin may be worth nothing and you lose your life support.


If the price stable it will be worth to be our retirement fund and I guess people will save their retirement fund not only in this bitcoin but some others too because they wont be just hope this bitcoin in skyrocketing, they need other fund to support them too

To call Bitcoin a 'stable' investment will also be a form of gamble. With fiat you at least have something, even with inflation hitting. With Bitcoin, you may have zero value - no one can say.

It might be good idea to put very small Bitcoins to cold storage every month, just enough the amount you can afford to lose.
If the price stays stable: you gain what you invested
If the price rises: you get good profit
If the price falls: you never invested more than you could lose

It uses a tech called "InstantX" to make the transaction confirmations instant (or in your words, real-time).

<snip>
I found when I restored from the backup that in fact it was an incremental backup, and I had files from my last backup from the end of March.  I left for a prototype build in S. Illinois right after that and didn't really author too many new files between then and now, so I'm not losing a lot - but I didn't know that when I came here in a panic.

Good to know you were able to restore a backup and didn't have to pay ransom. It would have been an awful and costly thing to do anyway.
